Books

Welcome to my books page!  

I love to read and talk about books.  Sometimes I write reviews, post excerpts, and share first impressions of books here on the blog.  

Below you'll find a list of links to reviews of favorite books.  Use the search engine in the header to find specific books and authors not found in the list.
